| Atom-thick CCD could capture images Posted: 19 Dec 2014 01:06 PM PST An atomically thin material may lead to the thinnest-ever imaging platform. Synthetic two-dimensional materials based on metal chalcogenide compounds could be the basis for superthin devices. |
| A vegetarian carnivorous plant Posted: 19 Dec 2014 07:40 AM PST Carnivorous plants catch and digest tiny animals in order and derive benefits for their nutrition. Interestingly the trend towards vegetarianism seems to overcome carnivorous plants as well. The aquatic carnivorous bladderwort, which can be found in many lakes and ponds worldwide, does not only gain profit from eating little animals but also by consuming algae and pollen grains. |
| Posted: 19 Dec 2014 05:51 AM PST Here's a nice surprise: quantum physics is less complicated than we thought. An international team of researchers has demonstrated that two peculiar features of the quantum world previously considered distinct are different manifestations of the same thing. |
| How the physics of champagne and soda bubbles may help address the world's future energy needs Posted: 18 Dec 2014 09:05 AM PST Most power stations rely on boilers to convert water into steam, but the phase transition involved is highly complex. During the phase transition, no one is exactly sure what's occurring inside the boiler -- especially how bubbles form. Scientists have now been able to simulate bubble nucleation from the molecular level. |
| Name that Creature: New, rare, sea lily species identified Posted: 16 Dec 2014 11:05 AM PST A new, very rare species of sea lily has been identified by an American scientist. Rather than name the creature himself, he's providing the opportunity of a lifetime and auctioning off those rights on eBay. Funds to help further research. |
